SHEARLING

Shearling emerge from the US with a sound that blends slowcore melancholy, shoegaze textures, and weighty post-rock sensibilities. Their music is lush yet fragile, layering guitars and vocals into a dreamy haze that is both tender and crushing. The 2025 record Motherfucker, I Am Both: “Amen” and “Hallelujah” incorporates banjos, dulcimers, and electronics, creating a surreal sonic palette that challenges and enchants.

‍

Formed by members of Sprain, Shearling embrace unpredictability. No two performances are the same, and their music thrives on the interplay of dissonance and melody. Connections to other US underground acts enrich their sound with wide-ranging influences, while their quirk lies in restraint — silence and space are as vital as distortion, lending their compositions a meditative tension.

WHAT TO EXPECT

‍Shearling envelop audiences in a cocoon of sound. Sets are absorbing, instruments swap mid-performance, and crescendos build slowly, carrying listeners through shifting landscapes of chaos and clarity. Every concert feels like an intimate, living experiment, playful, unsettling, and entirely unique.
